Can't beat the new MTH tooling PS-1's. They don't sell many because the 50 dollar price point for a box car in todays market is simply too high for the common guy.
Lionel "O" PS and X-31 series are the best in the market with non-breakable metal details.
I predict only one, maybe two marketers will be left standing in due time.
Most operators are not buying over priced OEM cars these days.
I believe the bulk of the market for Lionel and MTH is still collectors and with BTO [no inventory] for the premium lines products that get built are already presold. While I do not think Atlas produces products in numbers near the big 2 they have already cancelled a number of anouncements that did not get enough reservations,so they are being carefull with production also.JMO
